Chapter 5
Karma Sanyasa Yoga
Verse 22
Sanskrit
ये हि संस्पर्शजा भोगा दुःखयोऽनय एव ते । आद्यन्तवन्तः कोऽन्तेय न तेषु रमते बुधः ॥२२॥
Hindi Translation
जो ये इन्द्रिय तथा विषयों के संयोग से उत्पन्न होने वाले सब भोग हैं, वे यद्यपि विषयी पुरुषों को सुख रूप भासते हैं तो भी दुःख के ही हेतु हैं और आदि अन्त वाले अर्थात अनित्य हैं। इसलिए हे अर्जुन! बुद्धिमान विवेकी पुरुष उनमें नहीं रमता॥२२॥
English Translation
The pleasures which are born of sense-contacts are verily a source of suffering only (though appearing as enjoyable to worldly-minded people). They have a beginning and an end (they come and go). Arjuna, it is for this reason that a wise man does not indulge in them.
